The problem

WSL2 uses a random network from the 172.16.0.0/12 RFC1918 private IP address block. And our VPN uses that address block, too, with a route metric of 1 (= most preferred.)

This breaks networking for WSL2. Meh!

The solution

While messing around with the interface/route metric of the VPN network may work around the problem, it also reduces the priority of the VPN. We do not really want this. Additionally, changing the interface metric does not seem to be permanent, so it requires more work when it breaks again.

Workaround for WSL2 network broken on VPN

Overview

Internet connection and DNS routing are broken from WSL2 instances, when some VPNs are active.

The root cause seems to be that WSL2 and the VPN use the same IP address block, and the VPN routing clobbers WSL2's network routing.

This problem is tracked in multiple microsoft/WSL issues including, but not limited to:

CBC radio stream URLs

CBC Radio Stream URLs

Using these URLs, you can listen to CBC radio streams with applications like VLC or Transistor. The files are M3U playlists, so you can use them as-is, edit them to suit your tastes, or use individual URLs.

This playlist contains the .m3u8 URLs from the CBC Listen website, which uses the HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) protocol. The audio stream is broken up into multiple tiny files, which are then fed into the .m3u8 playlist file that delivers them to your computer in the right order. This should work with modern media players.

This legacy playlist uses good old-fashioned MP3 streams found on PublicRadioFan.com. It will work with older programs like Winamp that don't support HLS. I don't know how lo
